Canon Papercraft – Classic Ivy Christmas Wreath Free Paper Craft

This christmas papercraft is a classic Ivy Christmas Wreath, designed by Canon Papercraft. Wreaths are used at Christmas time to decorate places like entrances to homes. Various theories offer explanations of wreath’s origins: in terms of religious significance, the holly leaves may symbolize Christ’s sufferings on the cross and the red berries the blood of Christ.

Another theory is that evergreens were used to protect against evil due to their strong sterilizing and antibacterial effects, while the berries and ears of barley served as talismans promoting abundant harvests, making the original wreath something of a good-luck charm. Today, the wreath generally serves a merely decorative purpose. This ivy wreath features a stylish design with an ivy motif.
